Luigi Mangioni ~ Just to give context to who this person is. This is the man who shot the UnitedHealthCare CEO and then ran. There was a manhunt for a few days before he was caught. But what is different about this crime is that the people in society are actually understanding why he did what he did.
Now ~ I want to make crystal clear ~ in NO WAY do I condone murder, violence, retaliation or revenge. What this man did was WRONG and there is a grieving family out there now having to face the holidays without their loved one. So I don't want to lose sight of the fact that this individual IS a murderer and he was WRONG.
However,... I think this is a sign of the times. Our governments here in both Canada and the United States have been deteriorating to a degree where both countries are declining. And the ones running the countries into the ground ~ don't care. As long as they stay rich to hell with the rest of the people. This is a classic THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR PAY FOR IT. And I think society is now seeing it and has had enough. Now we don't yet know exactly why this man shot this CEO. But it has been hinted that he is pissed off that these health companies are denying good people who paid their premiums the medical care they need and deserve. I think in the end we are going to hear that this man was (in his eyes) ripped off by this health company.
This particular story is gaining so much attention because I think people can relate. People in society have been ignored,... stepped over,... used,... and in the end not receied the gains they should have because the rich company owners OWN IT ALL and they make the decisions and in the end only the higher ups actually see wealth. The people on the bottom work for it,... but then get told NO when they need it. I can see how this could make a person snap.
This worrld is very much a "the rich and powerful get it all and the poor get nothing" It is a system that is broken, corrupt and most of all UNFAIR. And it's here where I think this man snapped. He was a good citizen before all of this. NO criminal record at all. Infact he came from a priviledged background. This whole crime screams - people have had enough! and they aren't going to stand for it anymore.
And thats how I feel living in poverty. But unless I take a gun and shoot Doug Ford or some other government official - I am invisable. (Just for the record I would never shoot anyone!) You have read how I have tried to change the ODSP rate for years even going on a hunger strike. But no change. Noone cared I was hungry. Because I am a nobody ~ noone heard me and no change came. I think this man was in a similar situation and noone listened.
This is what happens when people are treated as INVISABLE. I can't tell you how awful it feels to have a need for something but you can't get it because you are poor. Or have no doctor,... you can take it for so long before you snap. It's like "what the hell do I have to do to get noticed and helped????" because the proper channels got us NOTHING. So I can actually see how this man went from "one of us" to a murderer. He was ignored when he felt he deserved something.
I would like to send out my condolences to the family of the CEO man who was murdered. Because of all the hoopla of the murderer on the run,... I think the media forgot about the fact that a family man is now dead. And a whole group of people are in mourning. It's too bad the media focuses on the murderer instead.
But I have been saying this for five years now. As each year passes and we lose more and more of our government resources because of bad management in the government. More 'normal' people are losing things they once had. (Health care,etc,...) eventaully they are going to revolt.
Mark my words - we have not seen the end of this governemnt squeezing out resources that were planned and built in earlier governments ~ only for the past 20 years the new governments are systematically dismantling all these good resources. In short they are ruining what the past built. And we are going down. The poor were hit first - ME. But the middle class are already starting to get hit. It's NOT GOING TO GET BETTER. Our system is collapsing with bad governments. Right now we are still protesting as polite Canadians do. But if this decline continues,... the people will revolt. Noone is listening to us down here. Nothing changes for us. But once the middle class and wealthy get hit - then we will see action. And this man in New York who shot this CEO is just the beginning of people who have just had enough.
I am not a violent person and could NEVER hurt someone like that. But I am effected deeply by my government. I am in poverty because thats all they say I am worth. ($1368.00 a month) But instead of violence to an organization,... I am a self harmer and therefore I just harm myself instead. In the frustration of dealing with his fallout - poverty. And as we have been reading on here for the past five years,... I have wanted to end my life. And this is why. Life has just gotten too hard,... too expensive and too painful. And when I asked for help,... my government wasn't there. I was told No,... No,... No,... to which I see "NO- YOU DON'T DESERVE" What am I suppose to think when I live on two meals a day and can't even get outside to get groceries? I have to think my governemtn doesn't care if I live or die. Infact dying is better for them as they won't have to pay for me anymore.
So I go back to "Suicide Sunday" I know I have outlived this society. They have priced me right out of basic needs. I can't afford to even breath. So why won't they help me die??? Lets make a Suicide Sunday for all of us forgotten poor to finally find relief from this horrible life.
I challenge you Mr. Doug Ford,... if you hate and ignore us so much. WHY WONT YOU HELP ME DIE? You obviously don't want us or like us and think we are all a big burden to your budget. (If there were no disabled,... think of how much money we would save!) THAT is how Doug Ford thinks of the disabled and the poor. USELESS ~ so give them peanuts until they can't take it anymore and kill themselves. Saving us another monthly bill of $1368.00 a month. THAT is how the Canadian government sees the poor and disabled. In Ontario anyway,... I think other provinces are in the same boat but a different Premier. In the end - we are all struggling and losing the fight.
So yeah,... I can see how this guy had just had enough and snapped!!! I am going to snap too. Only my snap will be self-destructive instead. SUICIDE. because even though we keep saying it - noone is listening. THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH A PERSON CAN TAKE before they either revolt in vilence or commit suicide. I am not a violent person and could NEVER hurt someone else. So that leaves SUICIDE.
What a sad existence. What a sad society that puts all it's worth in money power and greed.
